People with intellectual and developmental disabilities want the same things everyone else wants — independence, privacy, connection, purpose, and the ability to feel safe and secure in their own home. Many individuals want to move beyond living with aging parents, gain more autonomy, and live life on their own terms without having staff physically present in their homes around the clock.

At the same time, provider organizations are facing increasing workforce shortages, rising costs, and growing demands for support services.

This session explores how remote supports and person-directed technologies are helping organizations reimagine care while empowering individuals to live more independently, confidently, and connected. Learn how proactive technologies can shift supports from constant supervision to meaningful coaching — helping individuals build skills, make choices, self-direct, and participate more fully in everyday life. We will discuss how discrete sensors and wearables can summon external support only when it’s needed, leveraging hands on staff to be where they are truly needed.

Paul Carpenter, Co-Founder & CEO of BoundaryCare, and Joe Donnelly, VP Customer Transformation at GrandCare, will share how organizations are reimagining care while empowering individuals to live more independently, confidently and connected.
